Temp Work and Extensions (file, claim, payment, qualify)

[Boxerlady]

I am crossing my fingers I may have a job (although not getting my hopes up too much considering how many "close calls" I have had ) Its temp work for 4-6 months. If they sign the extensions into effect would I still elgible to move to tier one once my temp work is over? I thought about calling unemployment to ask but everyone here is so much more knowledgeable.

Edited to add I was fired 12-7-09, my first 26 weeks just expired and I am in Kansas. If any of that helps!

You would open a new claim based on that employment most likely.

So I would not be able to use the claim from my previous job considering I would only be emplyed 4-6 months? Just asking because this job is considerably less than I was making in unemployment and my previous job.

Boxer,
If you work only 4 months you will reopen your current claim and start where you left off only if the extensions still exist by then.

If you make enough money in the next 4 to 6 months you may qualify for a new claim that is a much lower payment then you are getting now next year as you will have to file a new claim at the new year mark. It all depends in how much you make in that time, Dont ask me to figure that one out as every state is different and even after reading it I don't understand that part of it.
